Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Lipstick: Advanced Hydrating Lipcolor

How have you guys been? I know I’m not posting as many reviews lately but I have just been trying to take it easy before I get burnt out! My oldest daughter started school and I am loving having some one-on-one time with my youngest since she never got that attention.

Recently, Lancôme sent over a big box of goodies so I am going through and reviewing each of the items in groups so it is easier to follow. Today I will be reviewing a few of the colors in the Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Lipstick line.

These lipsticks are housed in a gorgeous, sleek glossy black case with a magnetic closure, which is such a luxurious touch. The bottom of the tube is only labeled with the number that corresponds with the shade name, so it makes it a little harder to identify them without opening.

These do have that fairly strong “signature Lancôme” rose scent, so if you are adverse to strongly scented products these might bother you a bit. I think it is a bit strong, but its not overly offensive (like those damn L’Oreal lipsticks) so I can definitely get over it.

One thing is for sure, these sexy ladies are so creamy and pigmented with a satiny finish…they feel incredibly comfortable on the lips. Lancôme has them in their “medium coverage” category, but I think they are pretty darn close to full coverage. The colors last about 6-7 hours on me without becoming dry, bleeding or doing some weird fading thing. The darker shades definitely leave a noticeable stain behind, but it looks kind of pretty!

Top to bottom: Rose Petale, Rose Lancôme, Rouge Carrousel

• Rose Petale is a medium warm burnt orange/brown with a hint of gold shimmer. I like this one a lot more than I thought I would…it reminds me of PSL (pumpkin spice latte) season! 🙂

• Rose Lancôme is a vibrant fuchsia/berry creme, so pretty!

• Rouge Carrousel is a bright, warm coral creme. This color is perfect for summer time, which is sadly coming to an end here in the US.

Aside from the strong rose scent, I really, really love these lipsticks! They are just so comfortable and the color payoff & longevity are something dreams are made of! They are a bit pricy at $30.50 each, but there are 39 colors to choose from so you are bound to find the perfect shade for you! I think my favorite is Rose Lancôme (surprise, surprise) but I am throughly enjoying all of them!

Wow, what beautiful colors! And I love the detail of the flowers etched onto the lipstick — so fancy! 😀
